Congrats Fartpipe. How'd the Tick Perf. master work for you? I have been debating on getting one but, wasn't sure if it was all that it was hyped up to be.

Thanks.

Thanks guys... LOL thanks for pointing out the forsale section oops thread 4DRUSH LOL! I'm actually going to be selling the longblock and clutch out of the car and maybe the rear. The rear would be the last thing changed.

97 SC Cobra- I would give the OK from my experience to buy the TICK performance slave. I will most likely post up on ls1tech to TICK saying it has helped my car. Is it magic no. Does it make a difference YES! The car does shift smoother and I have what I consider good pedal travel and feel. I could probably adjust mine a little better and really try to flat shift the car at high RPM's and I think it may go. I couldn't try to flatshift it yesterday due to track conditions and didnt want to leave parts on the track when so far from home and no trailer and no AAA.

Congrats, beat me to it! I am going to give it a shot December 13th pending the weather. I'd love to have some - DA, if I get that then I know it will happen.

Awesome mph, 130mph is retarded no matter how good the air was for a stock bottom end budget setup.

Thanks BLU I think you have a little stronger car then mine so I think you get some good air you can really run her in there nicely IMO.

I figured it out, that guy staged with his foot and gave you a running start. You're not fooling me, no wonder you went 10's @ 130.

Get notified of new replies

To Fartpipe GOES 10.81@130.08mph!!! FINALLY!

Great news,I am happy for you.Now you can go to bed each night throughout the long winter holding those 10 second time slips and dreaming of great things (runs) to come in the spring.
